Installation
DANGER
Danger of death! Gases are generated during the
storage of slurry which remain partly dissolved in
the liquid. If the slurry is strongly agitated during
mixing and purging, poisonous, explosive gases
such as hydrogen sulphide and methane are re-
leased. If an ignition source is present, the released
gas can explode.
To avoid damage during operation, please observe
the following:
– Switch off the heater before mixing and purging
the slurry.
– Close the slide valves when storing slurry out-
side.
– The fan for the air supply must not be part of a
closed pipe system.
– The space to be heated must be adequately
ventilated.
For mechanical extraction equipment: at least
10m3/h of air per installed capacity.
In the case of natural ventilation, the structure
must have two apertures with a free opening
area of 60x B in cm2. “B” is the installed capac-
ity in kW. Replacement of the full air volume per
hour is thus ensured.
– In the case of natural ventilation, the maximum
allowable total capacity of the heater is 1kW
per 20m3of volume.
– Respect the safety distance of the heater to
inflammable materials, see “Installation position”.
– Consult your fire insurance provider and/or local
fire protection engineer to assess the foresee-
able, general risk of fire.
– For cleaning, care and maintenance, note the
applicable national regulations and directives.
– No condensation permitted. Comply with ambi-
ent temperature, see page23 (Technical data).

Connecting the room thermostat
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the heater, please observe
the following:
– Provide post-cooling for the heater. The heater
requires a continuous supply of 230 VAC,
50Hz.
– In case of a power failure, an emergency power
supply unit should automatically take over the
power supply. Emergency power supply units
with a cardan shaft drive for tractor attachment
are also suitable.
▷
Use a room thermostat with a hysteresis of ±1°C.
It switches on if the room temperature is 1°C
less than the set temperature and switches off
again once the room temperature is 1°C more
than the set temperature.
▷ The floating connectors X4 (230V) or X8 (24V)
are used to connect the room thermostat.
▷
If the room thermostat is connected to the mains
supply of other connectors (connector X1 orX3),
the heater will be damaged.

two methods of completing this parameteriza-
tion:
The PC software for burner control units BCSoft
can be used via the optical interface on the burn-
er control unit, see page20 (Accessories).
The “Setting mode” menu can be opened us-
ing the MODE selection button (heater OFF)
and used for parameterizing the outputs, see
page8 (Setting mode).
▷ MFA , external fan (max. 5 A)
For improved air circulation in the room, an addi-
tional fan can be connected. The external fan can
be actuated with an adjustable delay (BCSoft) for
switching it on and off. The exact time relates to
the operation of the integrated fan.
▷ Possible parameterization options:
– Inactive: the external fan is not actuated.
– Integrated fan active: the external fan is actuated
at the same time as the integrated fan.
– Integrated fan inactive: the external fan is ac-
tuated when the integrated fan of the heater
switches off.
– Modulation enable: the external fan is not actu-
ated until the heater starts modulating operation.

irregular cleaning can cause damage to the
device or lead to fire damage. For example, dirt
particles can catch fire and can be blown out
of the heater.
Switch off the burner control unit ACU.
Disconnect the system from the electrical power
supply.
▷ The mains plug may only be pulled out once the
device has been switched off and post-cooling
is complete.
Shut off the gas supply.
4 Check the cover on the burner control unit and
the housing cover to ensure they are both tightly
closed.
▷
The GP is made of high-quality stainless steel
and is resistant to external influences such as
dirt and moisture.
▷
The GP can be cleaned carefully both inside and
outside with a high-pressure cleaner.
▷
The water jet from the high-pressure cleaner can
cause serious damage to the heater compo-
nents. For example, the blade can be bent or
other parts such as the spark plug or rubber
seals can be displaced. Avoid direct contact.
▷ Do not direct the water jet straight at electrical
components such as the vane.
▷
Do not spray water or chemical cleaning agents
directly into the space between the fan shaft/
impeller wheel and motor. Do not clean the fan
shaft/impeller wheel with a high-pressure cleaner.
▷
The housing cover and cable glands on the ACU
must be closed during the cleaning process.
▷
The electrical components are protected from
moisture by additional water drip edges on the
housing cover. Direct water influence on the
edges of the housing cover should be avoided.
▷
A downward slope inside the device ensures
that dirty water drains out.
▷
Never direct the nozzle of the high-pressure
cleaner at the heater when the cleaner is set to
“water jet”. Always use the spray setting.
▷
The distance between the nozzle and the surface
to be cleaned must be at least 50cm. Placing
the high-pressure cleaner at too short a distance
can cause serious damage to the device.
> 50 cm
▷
To facilitate cleaning of the components inside the
housing, the maintenance cover on the casing
can be opened.

Check the burner is functioning faultlessly in nor-
mal operation, see page 20 (Checking the
safety functions and burner operation).
5 When operating with propane, check that the
breather orifice of the pressure reducer on the
connection kit is clean.
6 After cleaning, check that all the parts on and
in the heater are in the correct positions, for ex-
ample whether the rubber seals between the
electrodes and terminal boots are fitted correctly.
7 Chemical cleaning agents, disinfectants and/or
pesticides contain corrosive substances which
can even corrode stainless steel. Always rinse
the devices with water after cleaning using such
agents to remove any residue of these agents
from the surface.
8 After cleaning, select operating mode 3Con-
trolled air flow so that the interior of the device
can dry properly.
9 After cleaning the heater, check it is functioning
faultlessly in normal operation, see page20

Assistance in the event of
malfunction
WARNING
To avoid harm to persons and animals or damage
to the heater, please observe the following:
– Electric shocks can be fatal! Before working
on possible live components, ensure the unit
is disconnected from the power supply.
– Fault-clearance must only be undertaken by
authorized trained personnel!
– Repairs to components, e.g. the burner control
unit ACU or the combination control CG, may
only be carried out by the manufacturer. Other-
wise, the guarantee will be cancelled. Unauthor-
ized repairs or incorrect electrical connections,
e.g. the connection of power to outputs, can
cause gas valves to open and the burner control
unit to become defective. In this case, fail-safe
operation can no longer be guaranteed.
– (Remote) resets may only be conducted by
authorized trained personnel with continuous
monitoring of the devices concerned.
▷
In the event of an installation fault, the burner
control unit closes the gas valves and the status
indicator light will be red at the latest after a
restart has been unsuccessful.
▷ The 7-segment display will show an error code
in the form of a letter with a decimal point and
a number alternately indicating a warning. To-
gether with the red status indicator light, this
then constitutes a fault.
▷ Warnings and faults may be cleared only using
the remedies described below.
Internal wiring
▷
To rectify a fault, it is sometimes necessary to
check the internal wiring.
Open the housing cover of the burner control
unit.
Undo the two screws (M3) using a Phillips screw
-
driver and remove the complete plastic cover
from the burner control unit.
